Highlights
★ "Clubhouse" First Mention
Pi space at 12022 Parklawn Drive, Rockville MD is now called "our clubhouse" — 3 years before the Pi Clubhouse Grand Opening at 2009-01 — V31 N01. The "Clubhouse" branding existed by late 2006. The Grand Opening in 2009 was a milestone of the renovated Clubhouse (see 2005-11 — V27 N06 "Renovation Project" anonymous piece).
Apple Store Columbia Opens
Third DC-area Apple Store opens at the Mall in Columbia, MD — joins Tyson's Corner (May 2001 2001-07 — V23 N04) and Montgomery Mall (2004 2004-07 — V26 N04). Charters covers.

Connections to other issues
- ★ Pi Clubhouse First Mention = the "Clubhouse" identity is 3 years old by 2009-01 — V31 N01 Grand Opening; the 2009 event was a renovation reopening, not a brand-new clubhouse
- Apple Store Columbia = third DC-area Apple Store joins Tyson's + Montgomery Mall
- Pi Mini Meetings at Apple Store = Pi-Apple-Store partnership formalized
- Closes Vol 28 — Intel-Mac era now stable
